I keep putting off writing a new post because the little picture of Travis will no longer be the first thing you see when you sign on here. I love, love, love that picture of him!
Anyways, Hello Hello.
I have to share my Sunday afternoon adventure. I was lucky enough to see Dawes in SF at Yoshi's yesterday. I entered in a contest with the radio station KFOG and got picked! There were more people there then when I got invited to see G. Love in the studio but it was still so great. I took Lindsey with me because she is a good concert buddy and she is who I first saw Dawes with. A little over a year ago we saw them open for Delta Spirit and they caught my attention. I bought their album "North Hills" and let it grow on me, which it quickly did. Taylor Goldsmith's lyrics are pretty amazing. Sadly, I have not been able to see them again until yesterday. They have since replaced their piano player and let me tell you he is a great fit. They also just seem more cozy onstage with one-another. Dawes did an hour set and only about half the songs were from the album. I was familiar with a couple of the new ones but "Fire Away" was a new one I had never heard and it blew me away completely.
*If anyone knows where I can hear or get a hold of that song, I will owe you greatly!*
Lindsey and I talked with a few of the guys afterward and they were all really nice and really grateful. I officially have a crush on the lead singer Taylor ;)
I'm going to try and see them again in Davis on the 14th if anyone is interested!?
I highly recommend Dawes to everyone but be prepared. Their album is not one that you just throw in the player as background noise. Their album is best when you can truly appreciate the musicians behind the music.
